Walpole Awards 2012

Fact: the best canapes are served at the Walpole Awards, which
makes sense because you couldn't dish out any old blini to the
luxury industry, and last night at the 2012 event in Banqueting
House even Marcus Wareing tucked in which surely
gets the party a huge gold star? In between bites of scrummy kobe
beef and foie gras burger, Marcus and his wife Jane chatted to Emma Hill while Jodie Kidd giggled with Anthony Head. Then
everyone tipped back a flute of champagne, and the awards ceremony
began, hurrah! The biggest winner of the night? An over-the-moon
Emma, because Mulberry won British Luxury Brand.
